When people talk about supporting the immune system, the language that tends to get used is “boosting.”
Boost your immunity. Strengthen your defences. Fight off infection.
It sounds appealing, but it’s not entirely accurate.

Acne is the whole reason I sit here today. The whole reason I have a career. Yet, at the time it was my hardest mountain to climb. Anyone that has suffered with this will know only too well how utterly life altering it is.

“Why do I feel like I’m thinking about food all the time?”
It’s very easy to frame this as a willpower issue. That’s often how it’s presented. Eat l...
Joint pain is one of those issues that people often accept as an inevitable part of ageing.
A bit of stiffness in the morning, aching knees after activity, fingers that don’t quite move the way they used to. It creeps in gradually, and over time it becomes normalised.
